Thank you. I just got diagnosed with this, and I cried when you said that it isn't in our heads and has clear pathological evidence. And also when you said that it is arguably the most intense itch experienced by humans. Thank you for helping me feel validated.

This is so great. I need some therapy on this so bad I can’t tell you how horrible and hard this is going. My entire body is now scarred from head to toe all over my face my ears and my family made me think I was going crazy truly truly, I’m so happy to find it. Thank you.

I have PN since I was a kid, even a simple mosquito bites can cause an unbearable itch and bumps+redness that wont go away 😢

The worst part is when it itches and hurts simultaneously.

I had to look for a video due to the fact my dermatologist couldn't even explain it.

I don't have intense itch. My volcano areas in head is the worse. Sores on my face finally healed. Until an episode happens. Everyone thinks I'm crazy!!!

Your not crazy. I was told 3x I’m doing it to myself. I found a group on Facebook and once I read everyone’s symptoms and saw their pictures I knew I have PN.

I have it cause of OCD. I literally have a uh "sacirifical" area on my scalp where I can reduce and control it. Not a single thing about it itches. It did once. Moreso its picking ocd for me.
